I've always been lead to beleive that SAP is this amazing 'all in one' software.
In my new role at work I'm required to use SAP. On first inspection its the most unintuitive, confusing, user unfriendly software I've ever seen. There is absolutely no way you could use it without any training unlike apps like Word, Excel etc.
Is it because I've been brain-washed to use MS app or is SAP genuinely cr4p?
It seems my Company has got something right for a cvhange then. I know that they could pick and choose what facilities to have and how they want it set up.
Mind you, after SAP, I suppose anything was going to be better LOL.
and the system uses so many double negatives You don't know if You're coming on going putting it in or taking it out or in or out or shaking it all about
I used to know a contract programmer who had worked with SAP for a couple of years. He refused to list it among his skills and would not, under any circumsances, go for a job that involved it
Wow! this thread has provoked a fair few responses in a short space of time. This would indicate just how many people have been exposed to SAP and just how bad it is.
Even though my boss bills me as the 'future SAP expert' I'm really not wanting to get to grips with it' It reminds me of the old days of DOS where no two apps looked the same.
I grew up in the days of blank screens and flashing cursors and when you had to write your own software in the old days of 8-bit computing and SAP scares me!
